How Attention Measurement Optimizes Marketing Campaigns for Success
Neala Brown – SVP of Strategy and Insights, Teads
Laura Manning – SVP of Measurement, Cint
This presentation focused on the intersection of attention and brand lift. The partnership between Teads and Cint relates to the challenge of scalability, access to data and insights, and collaboration and innovation. They used normative data sets in order to examine the performance. Beyond viewability, in partnership with Adelaide who uses AU—an omnichannel metric that predicts the probability of placement to capture attention and drive subsequent impact— they conducted 17 studies in 2023. There were variance in results, in statistical significance, outcomes, etc. Results: #1 case study—media that scored highly attentive showed higher product familiarity and favorability; #2 case study—for a flat and neutral campaign, higher attention drove higher brand lift across every brand funnel metric. In terms of applicability, from a media planning perspective, this learning can be leveraged toward outcomes. When aggregating across all 17 case studies, frequency matters—lower frequencies require more AU to move metrics. People who are already familiar react to lower AU media. For favorability—more “energy” or AU is needed to move people here, it’s easier to move people with high level of familiarity. For ad recall—even at higher exposure levels, the ad needs to be high quality and needs more attention. Notably, these case studies can be replicated. Key takeaways:- Frequency matters: lower frequencies require more AU to move metrics.
- Familiarity reacts to lower AU media.
- Favorability: it’s easier to move people with high level of familiarity.
- For ad recall, the ad needs to be high quality.
